Controlling apples with snakes: Automating mobile apps with Appium

Description

Testing mobile applications is hard. Testing manually is nearly impossible.
That’s where automated testing shines. Just sit back and watch the machine go!
Python is a very powerful language for writing automated tests, but since Python is not installed on mobile platforms, we need to find a way to remotely control and monitor the device.
But how do we automate a device remotely? The answer is Appium.
In this talk I will go over the process of deploying and testing iOS (or Android) applications, and how to work with Appium to easily generate Python 3 code for testing your application.
